As a book author, columnist and active Evangelist, I would like to share Part II of my message:

   3.  THIRD, PRAY BOLDLY THAT CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE CAN DO THE “ 7 WAS YOU CAN HELP TO SREAD THE GOSPEL”      a. PRAY BOLDLY WITHOUT CEASING  – I’ve been praying boldly without ceasing  that God will send men and women to help in  the Lord’s work at Golden Gate and open doors of opportunities for the spread of the gospel. My prayers were answered when the   Treasure Island Outreach, was initiated by sister Regina Record and the Presidio Outreach was initiated by brother Richard Hollingsworth.

     b. DONATE BOOKS TO LIBRARIES – Several brethren and friends have started donating books to libraries like  the following: 1. Sister CLARITA ACASIO who donated books with GOSPEL MESSAGES to the library of Heritage Bible College in Baguio City, Philippines; 2.  My wife VIRGINIA JIMENEZ MADLAING who donated books with GOSPEL MESSAGES to the library of Asian Christian University in Bugallon, Pangasinan, Philippines; 4.  my friend JOSE ROBLES who donated books with GOSPEL MESSAGES to the library of Central Elementary School in Baybay, Leyte, Philippines; 4. My brother DIONISIO GABOT MADLAING who donated books with GOSPEL MESSAGES to the library of Binalonan National High School in Binalonan, Pangasinan, Philippines. These donated books to the libraries will continue to share the gospel to generations of readers when I’m long gone.

   c. CONTRIBUTE MONTHLY TO THE BOOKS MINISTRY –  Sister CLARITA ACASIO and my brother DIONISIO GABOT MADLAING are now doing monthly contribution ( e.g. $25, $50, $75, $100) to support the FREE BOOKS & VISITATION OUTREACH MINISTRY. Monthly contribution can be sent in cash,  check or money order to: ART G. MADLAING, 730 Madrid Street, San Francisco, CA 94112.

   d. MAKE COPIES OF “FREE BOOKS & VISITATION MINISTRY”  — Please request and get your copy and read  the article “FREE BOOKS & VISITATION OUTREACH MINISTRY.” Then, make copies and share your FRANCS (Friends, Relatives, Acquaintances, Neighbors, Co-Workers, Strangers) for year-round outreach and evangelism.

 e. WATCH  THE GLOBAL MY ANGEL RADIO – My bold prayers that God will open doors of opportunities for the spread of the gospel was also answered when brother Ed Bacani visited us in San Francisco and encouraged us to host the MYAR San Francisco. We just celebrated the third year Anniversary of MYAR San Francisco. Make  sure to watch the global My Angel Radio (Monday to Sunday with eight broadcast centers in the United States and the Philippines). YOU can watch the MYAR Q. & A every Saturday 7:00 to 9:00 am and MYAR San Francisco every Saturday 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Then, share or invite your FRANCS to watch with you.

   f.  ENCOURAGE YOUR HOME CONGREGATION TO HOST QUARTERLY ACAPINOY AND ACAPINOY AT HOME  – ACAPINOY  is acapella singing of favorite gospel songs and heavenly hymns in English, Spanish, Tagalog, Ilocano, Pangasinan and Cebuano. The Quarterly ACAPINOY will foster camaraderie, cooperation and unity among Christians and sister congregations. I’m glad that we celebrated at home last Sunday doing ACAPINOY with sister Claire Paulson from Louisiana, sister Edna Striegel from Southern California, brother Solomon de Vera, sister Rose de la Cruz, sister Debs Marcos and brother Renato Marcos; my beloved wife Virginia Jimenez Madlaing. When my beloved wife and I visited the home of brother Mike Alop, Minister of the FOOTHILLS CHURCH OF CHRIST in San Jose, California and his wife, last Thursday, we enjoyed ACAPINOY singing with brother  Pete Cachela, his wife Fely Cachela, and brother Solomon de Vera, visiting Evangelist now staying with his brother and sister-in-law in Chula Vista, California.

Inviting our FRANCS to join the Quarterly

 ACAPINOY and ACAPINOY at home is a simple, practical and effective way to reach out to the fast-growing Hispanic, Asian and Filipino population in the community. Through this initial contact, we can ask them the urgent and important question: “What if Christ were to come right now, or if you’ll die tonight? Would you know for sure, without any doubt, that you would go to HEAVEN”  Then, follow-up for WE CARE Gospel Presentation.

g. ENCOURAGE YOUR HOME CONGREGATION TO HOST “SOUL WINNERS WORKSHOP  – The SOUL WINNERS WORKSHOP is being conducted by brother Jon Rowe, Evangelist and Minister of the SOUTHWEST CHURCH OF CHRIST in Phoenix, Arizona and his wife Razzle Rowe. Congregations which hosted the SOUL WINNERS WORKSHOP experienced tremendous growth (numerically and spiritually). Members who attended the workshop became more involved and passionate in sharing the gospel to their FRANCS all year round.

We have with us sister Regina Record who initiated the TREASURE ISLAND OUTREACH for the Golden Gate congregation. Sister Regina Record was baptized for the forgiveness of ALL her sins (Acts 2:38, NKJV), while attending the SOUL WINNERS WORKSHOP hosted by the GOLDEN GATE CHURCH OF CHRIST last November 19, 2022.

 Many members are now so passionate and more involved in the spread of the gospel  like brother Richard Hollingsworth who initiated the PRESIDIO OUTREACH for the Golden Gate congregation. As a result, we have a new brother in Christ Kevin Mael who was baptized last Sunday for the forgiveness of ALL his sins (Acts 22:16). We just surpassed the total number of baptism we had at the Golden Gate congregation last year.

III – CONCLUSION AND INVITATION- As conclusion and invitation, let me read the letter and warning of Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9, NKJV:

And to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his might angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

They shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power.   

Today is your day of salvation!  If YOU have not obeyed the gospel in baptism for the forgiveness of ALL your sins, today might be your last chance to do it. Jesus might come back tomorrow or you might die tonight. Your decision today to obey the gospel in baptism will determine your eternal  destiny in HEAVEN or eternal damnation in HELL, as warned by the Apostle Paul. We, therefore, encourage and plead with YOU to come forward and obey the gospel in baptism for the forgiveness of ALL your sins, before it’s too late.

If you have been a Christian but became lukewarm for whatever reasons, we encourage YOU to repent and rededicate your life to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Whatever your needs, please come forward as we sing the Invitation Song.
